FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: device has tubular part made of knitted or woven material of variable cross-section corresponding to lower extremity profile in which woven material knitting or braiding structure allows compression action constant allover the whole length to be applied with compression pressure being from 30 to 40 mm of mercury column. The tubular part has extensible internal area of high flexibility and inextensible or slightly extensible external area. The areas join each other along two generatrices arranged diametrically with respect to each other. The tubular part is shaped as stocking without heel or sole having in particular cases femoral sleeve open along a generatrix and having controllable closing means. The tubular part allows exerting compression from foot to upper part of thigh. Upper or lower end of tubular part is manufactured from material that allows cutting off and is showing resistance against stitches running to enable one to cut off tubular part to required length when setting the article onto treatment place.
EFFECT: provided uniform compression allover the whole extremity; reduced risk of postoperative complications.
